Each year, student and faculty volunteers join forces with TeamSmile and Kansas City’s professional sports teams to deliver dental care to disadvantaged children. On February 16, volunteers saw over 200 children at the Royal’s TeamSmile event at the Urban Youth Academy.
According to their website, “By partnering with professional sports organizations, we create an experience that develops bonds between children’s organizations, oral health professionals, surrounding communities, and the athletes that solidify the message that oral health care is vitally important to long-term health.”
Thank you to our student and faculty volunteers for taking your time to make a difference in the lives of children in the Kansas City area!
